Samsung Galaxy A51 from PBTech

Geraldine from Te Atatu South

On the 10th June 2021, I visited PB Tech, Henderson, with my newly bought mobile phone( under warranty) A51 for repair. I was told by the person at the Repair and Service desk that I would get my phone back in a week. After 10 days I rang P B Tech to enquire about the status of the repair. I was told that they would find out and ring me back. No call came. Then after two days, I rang again. This time I was told that my phone has been repaired and is waiting for a pick up from Samsung , main office. They said that I would get it in a few days time, and that no charged has been registered. No call came and I was waiting patiently. Then I received a call at work to say that it would cost $200 for the repair and If I was interested in getting the phone repaired. I replied that I was told that it was already fixed and that there was no charge. I also informed him that I would consider it and call him back. That evening I called PB Tech and asked them to proceed with the repairs. I was then informed that they would charge me only the charge that Samsung would charge. Then got a call after a week telling me it is ready for pick up. They charged me $178.00 including GST. I paid the amount and noticed that screen protector was missing. I then asked for it and PB Tech did not have one. I had to wait another 3 days to get it by courier post.(on Monday) Then on Sunday, today , I went to PB Tech and spoke to the Repair and service personnel. It was 3.50pm. I asked if he could please put the screen protector on. I gave him the whole package which had the phone and the invoices and the screen protector. He immediately said that there would be a charge. This annoyed me and I told him that he had not returned my phone with the screen guard protector on. He the rudely said," Why the f**** did you not tell me before. I then said that he should not speak to me like that. He was quiet and I told him that that he owes me an apology. He replied that it is best that we do not speak and that he would get the work done. He did it and I left PB tech. This has app. taken me a month and a half to get my phone fixed. This cost was part under warranty and part for water damage.
I write this review as a disgruntled customer. This should not happen to anyone else and PB Tech must check on the personnel they employ.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
